Abstract:Patients with recurrent herpes simplex virus-2 (HSV-2) often are delivered by Caesarean section to minimize exposure of the neonate to the virus. A significant number of anaesthetists do not use regional anaesthesia in these patients for fear of introducing virus into the central nervous system. ~ We would like to report our experience with lumbar epidural anaesthesia in patients with recurrent HSV-2 infections.
